Droplet traffic in microfluidic networks: A simple model for understanding and designing
M. Schindler, A. Ajdari
We propose a simple model to analyze the traffic of droplets in microfluidic ``dual networks''. Such functional networks which consist of two types of channels, namely those access…
Behavior of Ising Spin Glasses in a Magnetic Field
Thomas Jorg, Helmut G. Katzgraber, Florent Krzakala
We study the existence of a spin-glass phase in a field using Monte Carlo simulations performed along a nontrivial path in the field--temperature plane that must cross any putative…
Mechanical Response of a Small Swimmer Driven by Conformational Transitions
Ramin Golestanian, Armand Ajdari
A conformation space kinetic model is constructed to drive the deformation cycle of a three-sphere swimmer to achieve propulsion at low Reynolds number. We analyze the effect of an…
Phase Transitions and Computational Difficulty in Random Constraint Satisfaction Problems
Florent Krzakala, Lenka Zdeborová
We review the understanding of the random constraint satisfaction problems, focusing on the q-coloring of large random graphs, that has been achieved using the cavity method of the…
Constraint optimization and landscapes
Florent Krzakala, Jorge Kurchan
We describe an effective landscape introduced in [1] for the analysis of Constraint Satisfaction problems, such as Sphere Packing, K-SAT and Graph Coloring. This geometric construc…
Comment on "Ultrametricity in the Edwards-Anderson Model"
Thomas Jorg, Florent Krzakala
In a recent interesting Letter Contucci {\it et al.} have investigated several properties of the three-dimensional (3d) Edwards-Anderson (EA) Ising spin glass. They claim to have f…
